Who in front of a camera case - regardless of size - shy away because of the awkwardness, is well served with this skin-tight leather case: after a short one, the camera has sufficiently quickly ready to fire, the other hand is not so cheap product quite well protected. --- I like to use the G10 on long bike rides: held with a wide rubber band on my chest, the apparatus is in its dermis even during multi-day trips always optimally protected. In 'stationary' recordings, such as weddings etc, the flap should be removed, so you can not accidentally cover the lens.
